New ZZP DownPipe
So early this year, I added UMI Performance trailing arms, but over this weekend, I finally added something to start bumping up my performance.
Like many, I installed a 2.5" down pipe with high flow cat. It took a while for me to commit to this (lots of mod questions, answers and input). So, most logical step is work the exhaust back.
My install was a BREEZE! And so far, so good. I notice some improved throttle response, it "goes" better. So far, I am pleased with this mod.
I posted pics and more info then anyone else care to know here:

Now, I plan to get a ZZP Power Log soon.
Also, Saturday, I got a thottle body from a SuperCharged 3800. I am in the middle of cleaning it up, modding it and getting it ready to slap onto my Monte (hopefully it will yield some more improvement). Either way, the part from the junk yard was $30 (so low investment).

And thanks for all you help Chibi! You helped push me to finally do this one and I completely think this is the right direction.

Now, what cross over are you talking about? The ceramic coated one from ZZP?

Just my opinion, but I'd hold off on the PLOG for now- you aren't flowing that much air to need better flowing exhaust. I think you'd see better gains from the HV3 inserts, or some ER rockers, or a ST1 L36 throttle body from ZZP at this point.
